I have been building this for years.

Front end and rear suspension is from a 2008 Yamaha R1.

Full custom wire harness by Sparq Moto. Modern wires, fuses, LEDlights. Land speed monitor for speedometer.

Custom fabricated frame. The Tank, seat and rear fender are all one piece. Easy detatch for full access to carbs, motor, electronics.

This was a complete ground up build. Top end was rebuilt. Heads and valves were professionally machined.

Really proud of this bike.

****CONS****
Over a year ago once I got it running, I took the bike to Brother Moto in Atlanta and they rebuilt the carb and got it running great. Needs a battery and clean the carbs again.

The bike makes me happy just looking at it but now I need cash and the bike deserves more attention.

I bought two of these bikes for parts, full modernization, custom parts, wiring, custom paint job, machine shop work, paid mechanic to get it running well.... So I'm way in deep on this bike.

I used to have a CX500 ….. same engine/drivetrain setup . These things are cool and you have done an awesome job with this one !
These are some of the strongest running 500cc bikes out there that I have ever ridden.
GLWS - whoever gets it will be lucky and should be proud of it !

**Lets sell/trade this thing. I need cash. Send DM offers, worst I can say is no. Gotta be a couple of cool guns out there.

I have let this trophy bike sit instead of riding it. Over a year ago once I got it running, I took the bike to Brother Moto in Atlanta and they rebuilt the carb and got it running great. Needs a battery and clean the carbs again. Clean tank and fuel lines.

The bike makes me happy just looking at it but now I need cash and the bike deserves more attention.

Would you be interested in trading for firearms?
